The first day of sweeping was the most time-consuming. I had to find the ones I wanted to enter (I used recommendations from Freebies4Mom and Sweetie’s Sweeps ). I had to read the rules and entry requirements, and I had to decide if I wanted to go for those prizes.

Also on the first day, I had to fill out a full entry form.

But on the second day and each one after, entering was a breeze. Most sites allow you to enter your email and password you set on registration day 1. Logging into those sites is extremely fast.

I enjoy playing those instant win games. Since it doesn’t take much time, I’ll probably keep entering. Even better if I win one of the big prizes.

I told my husband that I won a t-shirt, and he decided he wanted in on the action, too. He is entering sweepstakes as well now, but only the ones that don’t state “one entry per household.”

He’s a few days behind me and has only won a t-shirt (also rejected that prize).

awesome! I just started entering yesterday. I spent an hour entering a ton of blog giveaways and found out today that I won 2 dvds!! There aren’t very many big company giveaways that I found yesterday that I’m interested in.

From the looks at the time you wrote this post you are staying up late like I am. That is my favorite time to enter instant win games, early in the morning when most folks are asleep so the odds are better.

I have won some really good things from instant win games ($5,000, trip to Disney, $100 in groceries) and most offer lots of prizes so they are a good bet.

On my site I have sweeps organized by type of prizes, winnability, and how many times you can enter so it makes it easy. Just pick a category and away you go.

It’s great you’re winning, It’s reminded me how much I like to enter to win…got to do more of these sweeps! Anyway, what I don’t understand is rejecting a prize (the t-shirts) Wouldn’t that make the company not so positive about you and giving away prizes? Also, couldn’t you just give them away to someone who needs them? Just wondering. Thanks.
